Inspiration
When trying to listen to music at MHacks, we kept having to adjust the volume because of the varying noise level. That's how we got the idea for a small lightweight utility to automatically adjust volume based on ambient noise, kind of like an auto-brightness for sound.
What it does
Automatically adjusts volume based on ambient noise, kind of like an auto-brightness for sound.
How we built it
We built the project using Swift for OS X. We have plans to make it cross-platform in the future.
Challenges we ran into
We spent a majority of our time fine-tuning and calibrating the algorithm used to determine volume adjustments.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We settled on using a polynomial regression on the data points the user chose for background noise versus output sound level, and used that to apply a function for future predictions and adjustments.
What we learned
The basics of Swift and the OSX framework!
What's next for Looply
Lots more polish, a better setup UI, multiplatform support, and publishing to the app store / online.
